    Pyro Cert Question

    That is how I have always known it to work, have a "local shooter" at each stop. I have server as a Local Shooter in Ohio for several touring groups and shows. It really depends on the State the show is in. PA for example just requires you to work with the AHJ. Even for Professional outdoor...

    Pyro's in the house?

    That's the truth! However, we have been lucky enough to work under 3 seperate large parent companies who cover the insurance, product, storage, and majority of the gear and equipment. Yes we do...Ohio has some laws at state level but then refers to the NFPA Red Book for most. Then you get...

    Greetings all! Been lurking for about a week now and just posted my first thread on a lighting issue so I figured I should swing past and give my hello speech! I've dabbled in sound and lighting since my HS years and on a variety of equipment and after HS got away from the theater side of...

    Control/Dimming Chauvet LED Rain 56 DMX gone awol
